My Journey into Writing and the Web
One of the highlights of that time was the ‘Network Consultants’ Yahoo! group I helped build and moderate. It grew to become one of the leading IT-focused groups, until spam and moderation challenges began to outweigh its benefits. Still, those experiences shaped much of my early online presence.
It was within these forums that my love for writing took root. Though I always dreamed of becoming a published author — especially in fiction — my early writing gained momentum through digital platforms. With a few like-minded friends, we even created a handwritten monthly magazine titled “Theni” (meaning "Honey Bee"), which was circulated among close friends. Looking back, that was perhaps the spark that later evolved into technical writing and more creative forms.
Unlike traditional publishing, where one waits months for reader feedback, phpBB forums and early blogs offered instant validation — responses, comments, and criticism that helped me grow as a writer. That immediacy of connection and encouragement triggered a wave of creative expression. From short stories to articles, from podcasts to videos, I began to explore different formats — even converting some of my 1990s writing into digital content to feed the growing curiosity of online audiences. It worked — and the momentum hasn’t stopped since.
That foundation led to published articles in newspapers, co-authoring projects, and more. But the dream remains: to publish fiction in print — a goal I still pursue with passion.
